26th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Back on top of his game and a 4lb rise for his half-length win in the Summer Cup over C&D isn't the end of the world; solid chance. |

1st 13 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Back in top form this season; justified favouritism at Stratford (3m3f, good to firm) last time, taking chase record to 5-19; however, the memory of his dismal effort in this contest two years ago (when bidding for a four-timer) tempers enthusiasm. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Four-times winning chaser over around 3m; returned to his best when beaten a neck at Ffos Las (3m, good) 25 days ago with 15l back to the third; nudged up 4lb but holds claims if he gets home over this marathon trip. |

3rd 2 |
14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark when ending a losing run in 3m2f handicap chase at Fontwell last month; up 5lb but form has been franked so he's a player for yard among the winners. |
7/4 |

1st 1 |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this season but was second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (about 3m1f, good) in July and should find this easier than the 0-120 race he contested at Worcester last month; continues to slip down the weights; probably won't be far away. |

4th 6 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He's on a reduced mark and has been in pretty good heart since these blinkers went on; however, he needs something extra if he's to post a first win since March 2025, and a longer trip is probably preference. |

3rd 5 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised 9yo who won stylishly on good ground over C&D and at Ffos Las (3m) last month; contests a much stronger race today but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In-form 9yo who won four-runner marathon at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in pretty good style last week; also very well suited by this C&D and ground slower than good; respected under 7lb penalty. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 3m 5f 48y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Record of 2-2 over fences at Sedgefield includes a success in this contest last year (good) off 3lb lower; ended 2025 with a creditable second behind Red Delta in the Lincolnshire National; less solid on 2026 form but a revival is plausible returned to this scenario after a 103-day break. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Has won two of his 12 races over fences, most recently over 3m5f at Sedgefield last October (good), but not in top form on last three starts. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who won four good-ground chases (one over C&D) last season; absent since two below-par runs in the spring but could make a bold bid if refreshed after his break; had a recent wind op. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences, at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month but below his best at Fontwell since; is the type to bounce back and he should get the trip (has won over 3m2f). |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive 7yo who has form figures of 1221141 over fences since September; only two completed when he scored at Market Rasen (3m, good) 19 days ago but he still looks on a workable mark and his first chase win was over C&D; strongly respected. |
